PANews reported on April 8th, citing CCTV, that Iran's Supreme National Security Council issued a statement early on the 8th, local time, stating that, based on the advice of the Supreme Leader and with the approval of the Supreme National Security Council, it accepted Pakistan's proposal for a two-week ceasefire. The statement indicated that Iran rejected all plans put forward by its adversaries and formulated a ten-point plan, which was submitted to the United States through Pakistan. This plan emphasizes the following key points: coordinating with the Iranian armed forces to control passage through the Strait of Hormuz; ending the war against all members of the "Axis of Resistance" and ending the Israeli regime's aggression; withdrawing US combat troops from all bases and deployment points in the region; establishing a safe transit protocol in the Strait of Hormuz to ensure Iran's dominant position; fully compensating Iran for its losses based on assessments; lifting all first- and second-level sanctions and relevant UN Security Council resolutions; releasing all Iranian assets and property frozen overseas; and finally, all these matters should be approved in a binding UN Security Council resolution.

Iran's Mehr News Agency reported early on April 8, citing a statement from the Secretariat of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, that negotiations with the United States would begin on April 10 in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, and last for two weeks. Furthermore, the New York Times reported that, according to three Iranian officials, Iran accepted Pakistan's two-week ceasefire proposal after emergency mediation by Pakistan and last-minute intervention from other countries, urging Iran to show flexibility and de-escalate tensions, and amid growing concerns that damage to critical infrastructure would cause severe economic damage.
